Evening everyone...

Just got home from the Podiatrist, got measured for orthotics. Now just have to order them. They aren't to expensive though, about $40 and also need to get a night splint which is another $40.

Jul- Hope you feel better.

Jean- Glad you are healing, is the air cast big and bulky? I might have to have my foot cast, if these new orhotics don't do the the trick.

I don't think I am going to enter any more contests this year, I've won my share, and I don't think I can afford the taxes and all the extras.

Have to sit down and do my taxes this weekend, and see where we stand.
Crying or Very sad I hate doing them, but I don't like having someone else do them either.

Later...

gez I want your orthotics, mine cost $500 a pair & I am on my 2nd pair!!!! I was in a fracture boot for almost a year & it just became part of my wardrobe. the important thing to do is get a shoe the same height for the other foot.

Bren, mine aren't custom made for my feet, like yours probably are. They just measured my feet and tried different sizes to see which one fits best, and then order that size. So we'll see. My foot problems just started about 3-4 months ago. Plantar Fasciatis, and I also have a heel spur, but the Doctor today said that heel spurs don't cause pain. So they don't treat that. Seems strange to me. I have pretty high arches, and probably should have been wearing some sort of orthotic all along, I just didn't know!

We kinda laughed when our friends picked Bubba Gumps......I always loved the place until the last time we went (at Bayside no less) and dh's food came....1/2 hr later I still didn't have mine...asked about it, they checked, said just a bit...1/2hr again, still no food, mgr came over apologized, said he'd speed it up, another 1/2 hr and still no food....finally we just said forget it...paid for dh's (they didn't even have the courtesy to comp his for all my screwups)..and went to Chili's to get me food...THEN Chili's the clerk double charged our CC and we had to fight with them a month later to get it fixed......

BUT I'll give them a second chance.....if I get messed up again there won't be a third chance!!!

Guys we're flying into Ft Meyers on Thurs and staying with friends then driving over to Fll on sun for the cruise so we'll be further away from you guys than you thought. Love Bubba Gump's though.

Will you stop and say hi to my Dad for me??? With all these cruises, I can't figure out how to get there to see him myself!

I just went thru all my pill boxes scrounging out pills........I have a PERFECT amount of the one I thought I needed 5 more.....but won't have any extras........

I guess the worst case scenario is I become a raving madwoman without hormone pills!!!......Not going to stress over it.....

Will watch the weather tomorrow and if it looks like we are still backed up on roads then we'll head to springfield (1 hour drive) and stay the night there....

Positive thinking here for all of us flying...

THIS WEATHER IS NOT GOING TO DAMPER OUR TRIPS

Morning everyone................it's a very quiet day weather wise here.............the sun is even shining.

Jen, thanks for the email, I will get right on it. What a nice idea.

DUE DATE.............has been confirmed...........9/9/09!! WooHoo That's Rachel's mother's birthday (wouldn't you know it!! Sad ). Would like to see 9/10/09 that's Jim's birthday!! Very Happy The doctor did tell her that due dates are only 7% accurate. Shocked

My car is "finally" up and running. It was the battery. Now, my Sable was purchased brand new in 1996. The original battery lasted 11 years!! Had to replace it 1/22/07..............and it went totally dead!! Of course the free replacement warranty is only for 18 months. Mad Guess they just don't make them like they used to.

Wishing everyone luck in packing.........I have to wait another 64 days at least before I can even think about getting the luggage out.

Have a great day.........................

It's official - I am so weekend cruise-deprived that I'm looking forward to our jaunt on Paradise! Actually, we're going with a small (Virginia, care to make it larger?) group of Monarch Refugees, complete with T-shirts. We're going to get somebody to take a group photo standing in front of the ship's name in Ensenada, with nobody smiling and email it to RCI in Miami.

I thought the new contest was ridiculously easy, so I'm waiting for another clue before I enter. But I made some Calendar entries so I don't forget, LOL.

I dislocated my left ankle when I was 19, and it's been annoyed with me ever since. This was a stronger than usual "pop" and it's still sore, but I have to remind myself that I'm 55 now, not 19, and it's going to take longer to heal. I still walk the dog a little, but don't do the treadmill or elliptical. In order not to gain back the 4 lbs I've lost since getting back from the cruise (cheers ) I decided to live with stuffed sinuses and get back into the pool. I'm up to 2000 yards in an hour, which Weight Watchers LOVES - they give me 9 activity points for it! My strategy is not to eat them, because I'm sloppy in my journalling, so they provide the cushion.

Jul, I went off my estrogen about 4 months ago and haven't had a hot flash yet. Just the occasional bit of sweating, but no flashes. And as of 2/14 it'll be official that I'm done with the monthly event - how's that for a one-year anniversary? lol!

Patti.........9/9/9 sounds like a cool date!!! We put a new battery in the van I use at work every year......I drive it less than 25 miles a year ---only use it to haul freight up the hill........Lack of use causes the battery to not stay charged.

Jean.......I had NO clue that the premarin wasn't something to be taken forever...my dr didn't tell me nothing about, just put me on it at a time when I wasn't exactly with it mind wise! My endo the other day said it's too strong if I'm not having any symptoms at all and to back it down and get off it within 5 years at the max....

Kids are out sledding in the yard.........new sled is a screamer!! I wanna try it so badly but I know I better not as I don't need to be all bruised going on the cruise!!

Hi all, at a cafe in Ocho Rios checking emails, just faster and cheaper than the ship.
Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers. The news today, SIL is improving, not sure when he will go home but getting better. This has been so scary for us.

Having a great cruise, just that our thoughts are elsewhere much of the time.
Again, thanks and will talk when we get back.

Nancy

Hello all, horrible weather here today started as mist with just above freezing temps. Now it's doing a very slow rain with temps nearing the freezing mark. John is on his way home from work and will report on the road conditions once there. I'll leave here around 1 - 2 depending on conditions.

yep, they are custom to my feet. it is amazing how bad feet alignment impacts the rest of the body. hope those orthotics work for you. My doc said I had plantar fasciatis, but it was just time to get new orthotics!!! thank goodness because I HATED the boot thing I was supposed to wear at night affraid

wow, wha weather everyone is having. we are waiting for the front to come in & it is misting--sure wish it would rain, we need it soooo badly. BUT "supposedly" we ar enot supposed to get freezing stuff, like I believe weathermen.

good luck to those of y'all that are needing good weather to fly to your cruises. I think I have a little over 30 days before I get to start packing for the POst Rodeo Cruise--course that means I have long full days ahead at the rodeo to get through first!!
